That is absolutely cool. Good luck!

My "I just won the lotto" car would have to be a '62-'64 409 4 speed Impala or Biscayne station wagon. It wouldn't be the fastests thing on the track but it would be one of the most unique to be sure.

That was a fairly popular car in the old (and greatly missed) M/P classes

I like the way you think. My 1st car was 64 Biscayne 2 dr. - 6 cyl p.g. car. I have told friends that IF I had the chance to get another one, it would be 409 powered. Most likely a 409 425 h.p w/ a 4 speed and 4.56 gears.

Would that be fun or what????????

P.S. Gotta win the lotto 1st. Would probably cost about $100,000+ to buy and build.

You go for it! I'm beyond "cutting up" nice cars. There's plenty of junk just lying around that nobody will miss.

Did yours come from the factory with a powerglide transmission? My cousin had one back in the day with a floor shift was surprised it came with a two speed transmission !

Well since a Good friend just sold his 1970 LS6 Convertible Chevelle at Mecum for 480,000 yes Mike is a good friend and yes 480,000 is not a typo I’m stuck changing my SS A/H car over to a 4 speed because that’s all I had to do to make it my dream!

It's not competitive but a 56 Chevy, 2-4's running SS/L!! 66 Chevelle wagon with a BB/4 speed in Super Stock, I don't even know if they made one but it would be cool. 65 mustang 4 sp stocker. 58 chevy 348 4 speed stocker. AMC rambler super stocker.

I did.

It did come with a Glide from the factory, I changed to the TH350 when the rule change came out. Best its gone is .280 under in E/SA @ NHRA. I've been running in NMCA lately. It uses the 585cfm Holley. I think that may be hurting it. I do all my own work and R&D so its definitely not the fastest.
I bought it from the widow of the original owner in 1988. I used to street drive it until 2015. If I cant make it work it may go back to that, someday. Its just more fun this way.
